Alternative Hydroelectric power generation

Abstract

The energy requirement is rising due to the increase in the number of population, high development and some rural upliftment projects and schemes. However, the traditional power sources are getting narrowing down and increased worry causing depletion of the ecosystem has led to the search for better and safer non-conventional sources of energy which can contribute to a safe, pollution free and clean environment. Wind, solar and Hydro energy are the substitute energy supplier in this regard. This article performs a technique for electricity generation with the use of water energy, using a Savonius turbine which is an excellent replacement in the interest of creating a better, safe and clean environment. The simulation is carried out in Matlab environment and results are presented and found that the Savonius turbine offers a promising solution for power generation.
